Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow Google provider (apache-airflow-providers-google) before 22.2.1

Description:

Apache Airflow's Google provider operators `GCSToSFTPOperator` and 
`GCSTimeSpanFileTransformOperator` joined GCS object names returned by the 
bucket listing API directly to a destination filesystem path without 
normalisation or containment check. A user with write access to the source GCS 
bucket (typically a different trust principal than the DAG author — partner 
uploads, ingest-only service accounts, public-data buckets) could create an 
object whose name contains `..` segments and cause the DAG run to write the 
downloaded blob outside the configured destination (the SFTP `destination_path` 
for `GCSToSFTPOperator`; the worker-local temp directory for 
`GCSTimeSpanFileTransformOperator`), enabling overwrite of arbitrary files on 
the SFTP server or the worker host. Affects deployments that ingest from 
buckets writable by less-trusted principals. Users are advised to upgrade to 
`apache-airflow-providers-google` 22.2.1 or later.
